Sexual and reproductive health and rights are universal human rights!They are an indivisible part of the broader human rights and development equation.

To be 'for animals' is not to be 'against humanity.' To require others to treat animals justly, as their rights require, is not to ask for anything more nor less in their case than in the case of any human to whom just treatment is due.
